Alfred Music Mount Rushmore

* Mount Rushmore is a tribute to the sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore, near Keystone, South Dakota. * Each movement of this suite represents one of the four great presidents carved into the mountain. * Washington Fanfare is a majestic fanfare to George Washington and uses bi-tonal chords that contrast with a lyrical melody. * Abraham Lincoln is represented by "Of the People," a reverent piece showing the slow and steady reserve that was a hallmark of Lincoln's leadership. * Using broken chords that move up and down the keyboard, the rough and tough personality of Theodore Roosevelt is featured in the rugged "The Rough Rider." * In the "The Architect," Thomas Jefferson's brilliance shines through in a light and flowing melody that features meter changes and lyrical moments.
